12c Black, F. Grill (97). Block of four, unused (no gum), deep shade and proof-like impression, choice centering with wide margins all around

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB AND RARE UNUSED BLOCK OF FOUR OF THE 1868 12-CENT E GRILL.

As an indication of rarity, the Scott Catalogue value for four singles with gum is $13,000, versus $23,500 for the block. This is only the fourth block we have sold in the past ten years. Only two of the others had original gum (one ex Zoellner, which was subsequently broken, and one from our Sale 836).

With 2004 P.F. certificate. Scott Retail as block of four with gum.
